Strange "Typo" in the Workshop

from Stardock.net Forums

I'm using the 1.01 version.  When checking everything I noticed a new scenario named "Vault" in the workshop.  After I downloaded it and while still in the workshop I changed the Sort By option.  I noticed the spelling of the word "don't" had changed to "don't".  Nothing I tried fixed the problem.

 

When I went back to the Missions screen the spelling was correct again.  It stayed that way no matter what I tried.  When I started the scenario it was also spelled correctly.

Just confirmed this happening on my end too. It seems to only affect a downloaded scenario whilst in the get more screen. Very odd.

I also saw this in one or two places in SC:O.  The ' is some type of code (HTML?) for the apostrophe.  There are at least three types of apostrophe.  Word processors have one type that can be used as a starting quote symbol and another that can be used as an end quote symbol or in contractions and possessive words.  I think spreadsheets and maybe Notepad ++ have these also.  Notepad has a plain apostrophe for plain text.  It is used in both places.  Run each program and enter an apostrophe to see the difference.

I think using the plain one from Notepad will solve the problem without having to change the program code to properly use the different types of apostrophes.  I think loading the appropriate .csv file into Notepad, deleting the existing apostrophe and adding it back, then saving the file will fix the problem - or maybe not.
